Memorial Day Beef Week is a weekend to gather with family and friends. We do so with deep gratitude—and maybe a little smoke on the grill. To help you make the most of your Memorial Day BBQ, we’ve put together a Memorial Day Beef Week Eats full of crowd-pleasing recipes and grill-worthy favorites that bring people together with every bite.
Whether you’re feeding five or fifty, start with quality cuts and simple prep. Here are a few go-to beef selections perfect for the grill:
-
Burgers with a Purpose – Thick, juicy patties made with our premium ground beef. Keep it classic or spice it up with jalapeños and cheddar.
-
Ribeye – Grill it up just how you like. Serve it with Brussels sprouts topped with beef bacon.
-
Brisket – Serve it with beef bacon baked beans.
-
Marinated Flank Steak – Perfect for carne asada or slicing for steak salads.
-
Tri-Tip – A showstopper cut with bold flavor. Serve it sliced family-style with potato salad.
- Top Sirloin – Make kabobs for an easy prep ahead and a hit with kids and adults alike. Use top sirloins and colorful veggies.
Sides, Sauces & Sweet Moments
Pair your beef with classics like potato salad, grilled corn, watermelon wedges, and baked beans. Offer a few sauces—BBQ, chimichurri, or a tangy horseradish cream—to elevate each plate.
Don’t forget a patriotic dessert and a toast to those we remember.
The Heart Behind the Holiday
As you fire up the grill this weekend, take a moment to remember what Memorial Day is truly about. It’s a day of remembrance, reflection, and connection. At Painted Hills Natural Beef, we pause to honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. It’s not just about food, it’s about freedom, service, and the people who make both possible. We’re proud to support families, ranchers, and veterans who live with purpose and work with heart.
At Painted Hills Natural Beef, every meal we share is a chance to connect with tradition, with each other, and with the land that sustains us.
